And now Spanish newspaper Marca are reporting that with Saturday's defeat to Atletico Madrid all but ending Los Blancos' hopes of a league title, they are ready to start arranging the transfers of Isco and Rodriguez.

Express Sport understands that Rodriguez is on a shortlist of players at Manchester United as they seek to recover from a difficult season at Old Trafford with a big-money marquee signing.

Despite spending nearly £250m at the club, Louis van Gaal is yet to deliver a trophy and Jose Mourinho is expected to take over if he misses out on Champions League qualification.

And if Van Gaal does miss out on a top-four finish, United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is ready to hand the Portuguese boss the reins and yet more cash in search of a first Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

United have already held preliminary talks with super-agent Jorge Mendes, who represents Rodriguez, and the transfer fee is expected to be around £63m.
